singing goodbye to the blues

[LEVI JOSHUA GARNER]

Even though Levi would never openly admit it, he truly hated the depressing nature that hung over him like a rain cloud. It was tiresome, painful, and quite frankly the young man was just sick of his failed suicide attempts. With this in mind, Levi had decided to take his medication once again. Under the watchful eye of Ryland and Nolan, this eighteen year old was getting back on track with his life. Slowly, but surely the brunette was gaining control. Those horrible thoughts were pushed from his mind and he began to feel like his normal self. He began to show his pearly whites almost constantly and blather on about absolutely nothing.

He felt good enough to start going out again! Levi had taken the time to go hang out with his friends, especially Nolan, whom the younger boy had a crush on. The blond had caught his eye a while back and he was very glad that the older boy had offered to help him with his university applications. With both boy’s being dancers, Levi found it rather easy to strike up a conversation with his older soon-to-be classmate. Today, he decided had he needed some time with his best friend Ryland, who he liked to think of as family. This morning he had plagued the younger boy with sweet looks, bouncing on his bed early on and begging him to hang out today.

“Please, Ry?” The teenager purred, his boxer-brief clad frame crawled over the blankets as he leaned his close. His face rubbed up against the other boy’s, trying to coax him out of his sleep. Sure he had been comfortable sleeping with the other boy, but now he was awake and wanting to play. “We could go downtown or something...” Levi knew it would be difficult to get the younger teen out of bed, but like hell he would try. He nibbled on Ry’s earlobe gently, tugging on it in an attempt to get some sort of reaction from the mute.

The eighteen year old made himself comfortable on the large figure beneath him, laying on top of the teenager trying to pester him to wake up. It was only a matter of time before he got his way and if he didn’t well, there was always the option of dragging Ryland out of bed.

NOW COMES MY DAY OF RECKONING.

Ryland groaned softly as he felt someone close to him in his half asleep state of mind. Still though, it didn't mean he was even close to being woken up. He was a heavy sleeper and even then it was hard for him to wake up. He didn't like mornings and he was pretty sure he never would. In the back of ryland's mind he was quite positive he knew who the disturbance was. It was the number one reason his hands hadn't lifted themselves from underneath the covers to give his best friend a piece of his mind. Ry could never be extremely mad at Levi. He never had been able to. With a small flutter of his eyes the boy moved and nestled himself under the warm covers of his bed. The boy was obviously not about to be disturbed, regardless of the pleading boy beside him.

If anyone had any idea of how hard of a sleeper Ryland was, it would have to be levi. Living with Ryland for several months already gave him enough knowledge about the small boy. He didn't mind it. Levi was in a rough state of mind these days and more often times than not ryland was dealing with a sad and depressed best friend. It wasn't idea, but he was getting better. Each day seemed to be a trial all in itself, but ryland knew deep down that he could be strong. And if he couldn't be, he was always there for him. Just as long as he didn't abuse that power. There had been times where ryland had wanted to send him packing because of how depressed he had made himself. Ryland couldn't stand being sad. He already had reason enough in his life to be sad, he didn't need another. But ry was a good friend, he usually comforted levi as best as he could. That was the only issue having him live with ryland. The teenager couldn't really escape the boy unless he went to alec's or somewhere he could just relax a while.

Ryland enjoyed going over to alec's... never once had he felt weird or intimidated around the boy and most of the time they had a good time just talking with the other. Honestly, it scared ryland. He wasn't sure if he was ready to like someone like he was beginning to Alec. It was obvious that he accepted ry though with his disability, and for that he was grateful. He loved levi though, and it wouldn't matter what the boy complained about next, ryland would be there for him in a heartbeat. It didn't matter how clingy he could be, ryland almost felt that way with alec, although he didn't mean to. He just enjoyed seeing the boy so much! Much like levi probably felt towards Ry.

Levi knew from past experiences how difficult it was going to be to try and force his best friend out of bed, but the teenager wanted to play. It was the first time in a long while that the eighteen year old was practically oozing with excitement. The boy wanted to go shopping, wanted to dote on his best friend and more importantly prove to the younger male that he was getting better. Still, the fact that the younger brunette had brushed off his initial attack was a little disheartening. Ryland was probably the deepest sleeper the college student knew and it frustrated him just a little knowing that he had to put so much effort into waking his best friend up. On the other hand, Levi did get a lot of satisfaction when he saw that adorable little face waking up from a long slumber.

At least he hadn’t been pushed off the bed. Levi had expected that when he had first jumped up onto the comfy bed to snuggle Ryland. The fact he hadn’t been forcefully removed was a good thing ‘cause it meant that the teen knew who was trying to pester him in the early hours of the morning. It probably would have helped if the boy had readied himself before trying to wake up Ryland, but Levi didn’t particularly care. Levi could walk in naked and pounce on the younger teen for all he cared though Levi wasn’t that forward. The brunette was wearing a pair of red boxer briefs and was sprawled out on top of Ryland’s blankets, but at the rate he was going he was going to end up crawling under the sheets with him.

His lips curled in a small pout, feeling disappointed from being shrugged off so easily. Levi had decided it was time for action and it wasn’t long before the teenager had wormed his way under the covers to snuggle the larger frame beside him. “Ryland,” the teenager cooed softly, leaning in to nip the boy’s bottom lip. “Let’s go to the mall!” Hell even if Ry didn’t wake up, Levi would have been fine with sleeping here for a few more hours. He felt absolutely safe when he was with his best friend and it was probably was because the mute always seemed to know how to make things better.

It wasn't uncommon that his best friend would do this to Ryland, it was just the fact that he was a deep sleeper, the boy was pretty hard to wake up and when he did, he wasn't all that friendly. Which was odd; Ryland was always friendly. Not very often could you see a frown on the boys face unless he was playing around or seriously unhappy. He was still half asleep though, although he was more on the 'asleep' side, he was slowly being drawn out of that sleepy state with a cuddly teen on top of him, he knew what he'd want, and he wasn't sure he wanted to wake up to say okay to it yet. He needed his sleep, he enjoyed his sleep. But he also enjoyed his best friend, which was one of the reasons the boy hadn't been grumpy as he had laid on top of him and practically begged him to get out of bed. He wasn't that cruel.

Ryland knew deep, deep down that the boy who was living in his house knew him better than he practically knew himself. He would know how to wake him if he really wanted to talk to him, or whatever he wanted to do. He was just being gentle right now, making sure the boy didn't wake up with an unshakable attitude, which would certainly happen if he was woken up the wrong way. So of course, the half asleep boy was expecting it when his best friend crawled underneath the covers with him, snuggling close and speaking softly. Ryland smiled lazily as he heard his name being called, hmmmm? he grunted, not being able to form words half because of his state of being mute, and half because he was far too lazy to lift his fingers and form the words his brain were thinking. However, what ryland hadn't been expecting was the sudden bite he felt at his lip.

His eyes rolled open slowly, blinking away the sleep for a moment, confused and a bit shocked by his friend's forwardness. It wasn't unlikely, levi had always been.... slightly sexual to him, but right in the morning Ryland was certainly not expecting it. Clearing his throat softly he grunted again shaking his head and lifting his hands quickly, his fingers moving lethargically, let's sleep. he signed quickly, his eyes closing once again as his head snuggled into his pillow, moving a little closer to Levi and hoping he would lure him to just lay there with him. That was all he needed, just a few more hours, even a few more minutes. Ryland was not ready to get up, and even now after a moment of not speaking and his eyes being closed, he was already in that state of being half asleep once again. His best friend's attempts were slightly hopeless at this point, but Ryland was sure that if he wanted the boy up, he and only he would be able to do just that.

Honestly, if Levi had been trying he could have had the younger boy out of bed in a jiffy. The only downside to that was the fact that Ryland would be incredibly grumpy and defiantly not something that the eighteen year old would have wanted to deal with so early in the morning. For once he was back to his bright and cheerful attitude so it would have been a lot easier to slowly bring the mute of his sleepy state to put him in a loving sort of mood. Being his best friend he liked to think that he knew a lot about the younger boy while the other knew the same, or even more than Levi did about himself. It was good to have someone close to you. They knew your deepest and darkest secrets without you even having to tell them.

Staring up at the younger male, Levi could have sworn he was conscious. Well... maybe he was half-conscious because the smile on his face certainly gave Ryland away. At least he knew he was getting some sort of reaction from his beloved best friend and that was good enough for the soon-to-be college student. God, that smile was adorable. Levi could feel his heart melting and the teenager almost didn’t want to wake him up, but he wanted to go to the mall so he was going to haul the boy’s ass straight out of bed. Of course his next choice of tactics probably wasn’t the best idea in the world. On one hand, Ryland’s lips tasted delicious and the raven haired teen was tempted to lean in for a quick kiss, but there was no point in that seeing as the other had finally woken up.

At first Levi thought he was going to smack him, but all the boy did was sign a simple comment urging the youth back to sleep. He stuck his bottom lip out in a pout though it was useless as Ryland’s eyes had already fallen closed. All the eighteen year old could do was watch in despair as the other slipped back into a dream state, snuggling up to him as he had finally caved into Ryland’s demands. Maybe an hour or two wouldn’t be so bad, but after that he’d force the teen into showering so they could go to the mall. He tilted his head a little and looked behind him as he tried to set the alarm clock and snuggled up to his best friend. The alarm clock would wake them up later and well... a morning nap wasn’t such a bad idea.


OoC; I guess... the alarm clock is their friend?
